Lyrics
The Pellegrino sweats a map of Italy on the linen, 8:15.
You trace the rim, you ain't seen the pressure building under my skin.
This whole room smells like new money and a citrus I can't name.
Playing like I know the rules to this LA vertigo game.
[Chorus]
Breathing this Silver Lake air, yeah
Pretending I belong here
Just watching the patina glow
On a future I don't really know.
[Verse 2]
The waiter pours a Merlot that costs more than my last tank of gas.
I taste the oak and try to make this one slow feeling last.
You said, "This place is you, Quincy, so easy and so bright."
I just nod and smell the ghost of fried catfish on a Friday night.
[Chorus]
Breathing this Silver Lake air, yeah
Pretending I belong here
Just watching the patina glow
On a future I don't really know.

Panic is a low front moving in, the air gets thick and slow.
Grandma whispered, "L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur," what did she know?
From the valet stand I can hear the current of the 101.
Thinking 'bout a different river, under a different sun.
[Outro]
Just watching the patina glow...
Yeah... watchin' it glow.
